On Thanksgiving day I woke up at 5:30 am. Because I was up so early it was difficult for me to stay awake through lunch. Mom documented the event since I was fast asleep.ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

This past weekend we traveled to Cousin Melissa's wedding up in McCall, Idaho. It was a great trip and she was a beautiful bride. Although, I was scared by her beautiful dress and cried when they were presented to the congregation because of the clapping. Remember my birthday video? I don't like clapping and cheering. Congratulations, Cousin!

Here are a couple of snaps from the event.

Scared by how beautiful the bride was - that's her with her now husband, Kent. Mom tried to get me to come closer but as you can see, this was about as close as I would get!

Since we were sitting at the very back of the chapel (to minimize distractions to the ceremony due to my T Rex screeches), we got to see the bride and father-of-the-bride (Uncle Doc) peeking out of the dressing room waiting for their cue to come out - this is my favorite shot!

With Grandma N - I'm wearing my coat because we were in the mountains and it was cold outside!

We made a little bit of a family vacation out of the trip. Here are some of those highlights:

Mom filled one of the drawers in the hotel room with my toys - it was sturdy enough for me to play inside - SO much fun!

Fun at Grandma and Grandpa's Cabin - look how high up I am!!! Taking this photo of me made Mom very nervous even though Dad was right by me the whole time. I fit in between those rails!

Reading in my forward facing car seat - I LOVE it!!!

We made a "quick" stop for lunch on the way back. I was getting a little impatient waiting for Dad to come back but I managed to stay distracted by calling his name. (Make sure your speakers are on!)

Then sleeping on the way home - so tired after so much fun! (Two and and half hour nap - I never do that at home!)

Here's the video from my birthday song. Twice Mom and Dad tried it with me and twice I did fine until the end with the cheering and clapping. Either I don't like the fact that the song is over or all the cheering is just too much for me.

Thank you everyone for all the gifts - Mom and Dad thought by making my party an "open house" it implied a "no gifts necessary" policy. I guess they were wrong. Thank you for the gifts. But thank you also if you did not bring a gift as it made Mom and Dad feel better.

I got tired after opening a few of the gifts. Mom put a few away for me to open later, as well as some for me to play with at a later time. I got a little overwhelmed with all the cool toys, books, and clothes.

Opening my table and chairs from Grandma and Grandpa

Mystery gift - it's a cool toy submarine but it had no card attached so I have no idea who gave me this cool toy? Anyone want to claim giving this cool gift?
